What about this:
Official Selection - Each district votes for their own head official
That elected official then selects his 6 officials to officiate the Kids State Tournament - the head official is in charge of his own officials and will be rated by marks from coaches or other officials
For Example purposes, DAY 1:
District 1 consists of:
Referee #1 - ALL DAY
Referee #2 - 8-noon
Referee #3 - 8-noon
Referee #4 - 8-noon
Referee #5 - Noon-Finish
Referee #6 - Noon-Finish
Referee #7 - Noon-Finish
District 2 consists of:
Referee #8 - ALL DAY
Referee #9 - 8-noon
Referee #10 - 8-noon
Referee #11 - 8-noon
Referee #12 - Noon-Finish
Referee #13 - Noon-Finish
Referee #14 - Noon-Finish
District 3 consists of:
Referee #15 - ALL DAY
Referee #16 - 8-noon
Referee #17 - 8-noon
Referee #18 - 8-noon
Referee #19 - Noon-Finish
Referee #20 - Noon-Finish
Referee #21 - Noon-Finish
District 4 consists of:
Referee #22 - ALL DAY
Referee #23 - 8-noon
Referee #24 - 8-noon
Referee #25 - 8-noon
Referee #26 - Noon-Finish
Referee #27 - Noon-Finish
Referee #28 - Noon-Finish
Officials # 1, 8, 15, 22 are head refs and will be observing or filling in
from 8-noon, (just a number) referees # 2,3,4 - 9,10,11 - 16,17,18 - 23,24,25 will all be present to work mats (12 total)
Then from noon-finish, referees 5,6,7 - 12,13,14 - 19,20,21 - 26,27,28 will be present to work
If for whatever reason a district doesn't have enough officials to assign, the other districts can bring in to fill the positions unmanned
For Example purposes of DAY 2:
District 1 consists of:
Referee #1 - ALL DAY
Referee #2 - 8-11 - CHAMPIONSHIP MATCHES
Referee #3 - 8-11 - 3rd & 4th PLACE MATCHES
Referee #4 - 8-11 – NOT SELECTED
Referee #5 - 11-Up to placement bouts - CHAMPIONSHIP MATCHES
Referee #6 - 11-Up to placement bouts – NOT SELECTED
Referee #7 - 11-Up to placement bouts - 3rd & 4th PLACE MATCHES
District 2 consists of:
Referee #8 - ALL DAY
Referee #9 - 8-11 – NOT SELECTED
Referee #10 - 8-11 - CHAMPIONSHIP MATCHES
Referee #11 - 8-11 - 3rd & 4th PLACE MATCHES
Referee #12 - 11-Up to placement bouts - CHAMPIONSHIP MATCHES
Referee #13 - 11-Up to placement bouts – NOT SELECTED
Referee #14 - 11-Up to placement bouts - 3rd & 4th PLACE MATCHES
District 3 consists of:

Referee #17 - 8-11 - CHAMPIONSHIP MATCHES
Referee #18 - 8-11 - 3rd & 4th PLACE MATCHES
Referee #19 - 11-Up to placement bouts - 3rd & 4th PLACE MATCHES
Referee #20 - 11-Up to placement bouts - CHAMPIONSHIP MATCHES
Referee #21 - 11-Up to placement bouts – NOT SELECTED
District 4 consists of:
Referee #22 - ALL DAY
Referee #23 - 8-11 - CHAMPIONSHIP MATCHES
Referee #24 - 8-11 - 3rd & 4th PLACE MATCHES
Referee #25 - 8-11 – NOT SELECTED
Referee #26 - 11-Up to placement bouts - CHAMPIONSHIP MATCHES
Referee #27 - 11-Up to placement bouts - 3rd & 4th PLACE MATCHES
Referee #28 - 11-Up to placement bouts – NOT SELECTED
Do the same shift-work as day 1 and get a guesstimate (I think the placing matched took place around 1 or 2) of how long officials will be working (8-11 then 11-2)
During the intermission from the regular bouts to the placement bouts, the head referees will then tally their scores for each ref, and determine which of their top 10 officials (i know 2 districts will be short since the placement bouts have 2 refs per mat) based on their overall score from the amount of marks that ref has. The top 2 officials from each district officiate the Championship matches - the other 2 in line by markings total, officiate the 3rd & 4th place matches
This way, the referees are responsible for their selections and accountable for their own District and everyone can see who is/is not available for the placement matches
